Yeah that's my experience with working with Camara aswell. Mostly, you
don't want or need to update distros. In fact if you have old hardware,
you don't want to upgrade to the latest version since it might slow your
low spec machine down.

A specific CD with certain sets of software would be great. i.e. "We
wanna teach programming", so create a CD with all compilers and IDEs and
documention and books on it. This "Programming CD" can then be
distributed and installed on many PC.
